Pros:

Very comparable to a hostel style stay. Fridge, bbq, microwave, dish sink all available. Simple, clean accomodations and very friendly staff. They let me use the canoe rack around back and are just across the road from the river. Made a perfect end for a trip down the Yukon.

Perfect
Pros:

Only issue I have is we couldn't stay longer.

The bunkhouse is the perfect spot, for 1 it's cheaper then most places in Dawson, the rooms are super cozy, it's a cool feel to it like and old brothel/Saloon.

The shared showers might scare you off but they are amazing, seperate lockable doors, sinks In and outside the toilet room.

And then there is the showers... As my wife put it... Probably the best shower she has ever had. LOTS of pressure, rain head and very hot water.

Highly recommend staying here.

Perfect type of budget accommodation
Pros:

Had a very good stay before and after our trip to Tombstone. Lots of parking and right in the middle of Dawson so you can walk everywhere easily. Shared washrooms and showers were very clean. Really liked the water pressure and hot water in the showers. Shampoo, conditioner, soap, towels are all provided. Small kitchen has a fridge, freezer, microwave, kettle, sink which was really useful for meal prep and clean up. Picnic tables and barbeque on the lawn as well. Free coffee/tea and friendly staff to top it all off. Very happy we chose to stay at the Bunkhouse.

Pros:

Great location, good for a few days and unique setup. Very uncomfortable bed though. No shuttle, so be prepared with ride from airport prior to arriving - no taxis in Dawson.

Pros:

I missed the common kitchen, which is usually part of hostels. I would suggest to use European style of beddings. It is more hygienic
Room was simple, clean, comfortable.

Pros:

The rooms are clean, neat yet small-ish but you don’t come to Dawson City to stay in your room. The small room has a small window which is helpful given the late summer light.

Clean and tidy, reasonably priced stay in Dawson
Pros:

Great stay at the modest yet clean and tidy Bunkhouse. Shared bathrooms and showers were clean and well-maintained (though you have to walk outside to get to them). As expected, room was small but had everything we needed. Only drawback was no indoor common room to hang out in but lots of public areas in Dawson City. Would definitely stay again!

A really excellent and well-maintained facility. Unfortunately, we were on the first floor and noise and foot traffic on the second floor kept us awake most of the night.

Pros:

Check in was totally dialled in, friendly, great place to stay.
The only suggestion I always have is leave a mop or something in the bathroom so when people shower and the floor is wet, people can wipe it up.

Pros:

Considering it is right off the highway, this property is remarkably quiet. The room is clean and bright. The bed is comfortable. You can hear the people walking in the room above but fortunately nobody stayed up late or got up unreasonably early. We would definitely stay here again!
